Kuala Lumpur QF: Tomas Berdych (3) vs David Ferrer (5)

[aldeayeah]

Interesting match! According to ATP, these two haven't played in ages...

2007 Paris R16 - Ferrer 6-4, 6-2
2007 World Team Championship RR - Ferrer 6-1, 6-3
2006 Stuttgart SF - Ferrer 6-3, 7-5
2005 Hamburg R64 - Berdych 6-2, 2-6, 6-3
2004 Palermo SF - Berdych 7-5, 6-4
2004 Gstaad R32 - Ferrer 2-6, 6-3, 6-4

I say Ferrer in 3. Berdych's been a bit erratic lately.

Yes, it will be interesting. I hope Berdych has got it together and will win in three.

Yep I wouldn't put any money on Berdych these days. Especially against a tough opponent like Ferrer. Berd may take the first set, but I think Ferrer will prevail in 3.

Hmm, looks like I was right!

Man Berdych sure has been struggling lately. Seems like since he lost to fed in Toronto nothings been going right for him!

I hope Berdych bounces back. I like him. It looks like it was a close match, though - 46 75 64?

Berdych is not a top 7 caliber player. He is in his over his head a bit to be where he is now. At best he has a top 20 game and that is where he will be again after Wimbledon next year.

People overrated his performance at Wimbledon. He was lucky to play Federer playing his worst ever grass court tennis and then a djoke performance from the Djoker in the semis. Nadal just playing ok for his standards still easily beat Berdych in the final.
